Avis Sauna & Cabin 1 Hour North of the Twin Cities!

Great communication and the place was clean. It had everything we needed!

Stay was good. It’s a large home. My complaints would be we had to knock down a hornets nest on the back deck. Also it’s very weedy around the property. Just tons of bees and wasps around outside in the tall weeds. I’m highly allergic along with another guest so taking care of that wasn’t fun.

While there was difficulty initially getting into the building, afterwards there were no concerns! The place was clean and to our liking. This was many of our first times using a sauna and we would definitely come back in the future!

This place worked well for what we needed.

Great place to hang in the winter with your crew

The home is spacious and lovely. The big issue we had was that there were mice in the home. Management was responsive so I am sure they have now taken care of the issue. There were no hot pads in the kitchen.

Plenty of room for our gathering. Did not like the drum was hard to keep younger kid away from.

The house was beautiful and very clean and met all our needs. We truly wanted this to be a true getaway so the large TV's were not that important to us. We never turned them on. However, we were disappointed with the outdoor areas. No seating on the deck and ill kept fire pit. There were several old chairs around the fire pit including an office chair with a torn seat, a fold up chair and some other chairs that one could not sit in. The area looked like a junk yard. Luckily we all brought along our own chairs to sit around the campfire. There was a rusted shovel, rake, and ax laying around the fire pit and the weeds were not trimmed around the area. Also no fire wood was provided. We were told this before and brought our own wood but it is a hassle to pack a car with wood when going to a place as advertised in the woods. For the price of the cabin, we did expect that some wood would be provided. Also I am not sure why it is advertised as having a sauna when it was locked and we never received instructions on how to open door. I know that we could have texted the owner for instructions but it was not a priority for our stay. Also were never told that house is close to a highway and road noise is an issue. There were also no trails to walk on and the only option was either to walk along a highway or go by car to a hiking area. Check out time is 10am. It would be nice if that time could be pushed up an hour. It was a marathon to have breakfast, pack up our food and belongings and do the necessary chores to clean up. On the positive side, we had quick response from the owner to our questions before arrival. The house is beautiful and there were enough beds that none of us had to climb into a top bunk. I really do not want to write this as a review that is posted but rather some suggestions for the owners that may improve the property and experience. Thank you

Cleanliness was poor. There were large clumps of hair on the walls of two of the showers. This made our female guests very uncomfortable and the only shower they found usable was in the master bedroom. The deck was unusable due to swarms of yellow jackets coming up through the floor if you walked on it.
